Heard somewhere it was the padre, not confirmed

I would place a bunch of the blame though on the brass as well. I think they just heard rumours and unconfirmed information, and fearing another Somalia PR disaster, they panicked. As a result innocent people got pulled into the tornado and now some ignorant people will always view Furlong as some kind of monster for something that he didn't do.

regardless of what may or may not have happened, a kill from 2.4km is incredible! thats some serious talent!

For the most part we are better equipped.

Personal kit, yes. But as far as vehicles go we leave much to be desired.

We are better personal kit wise? I thought we were about equal in that?

Sorry to have to tell you this, but your 1st vid has been on CanuckTube for 1 1/2 years now. Don't have the time to look for the second, but it's probably there too.

I dont know, the vast majority of the Americans were rolling in humvees when I was there, I hear they are going to bring strikers into the battle now though.
